4 Steps For Grout Cleaning

Today most houses have grout in at least one room, if not more. Whether it is between tiles in a kitchen backsplash, a part of the bathroom or even outside, this versatile filler gives a great looking contrast to tiling work and keeps homes looking good for years.

However, the porous nature of grout can make it very tricky to keep clean. The tiny holes quickly and easily absorb dirt, holding onto it for long periods of time. Simply wiping over the surface can miss spots due to the grout lines sitting slightly deeper than the surface. As time passes this begins to give the grout a dirty look, and make an otherwise clean and hygienic room look uncared for and unkempt.

Many people turn to the vinegar and lemon mix to try and turn back the time on their grout. While for some very light surface marks this may give a temporary improvement, the reality is to turn back the time on your stained grout, a professional grout cleaning service will be the best solution.

Vinegar and lemon among many other old wives tale suggestions have left countless people frustrated. That’s where we come in.

We can bring life and sparkle back to your tiled floors and give you that long lasting shine that you’ve always dreamed of. All of our cleaners are highly trained and dedicated to giving you the very best clean you could imagine.

Our process is unique with a focus on attention to detail. We take a four-step process to perfecting your grout.

1. We start with a pre-inspection. This will help us assess the extent of the job and identify any risks and precautions we may need to take. For example, often we need to protect adjoining floors with towels. We can also use this inspection to decide which kind of tile cleaner to use. In some cases, it will be acid based, while others will call for an alkaline treatment.
2. When it comes time to perform the grout cleaning, we’ll mop the solution onto the tiles and grout. We’ll then wait around five minutes for the solution to work its magic. We then agitate the tiles with what’s called a Polivan machine and manually brush out the corners by hand. While this step comes at an additional cost due to the time and labour intensiveness, it is highly recommended as it takes your grout clean to the next level.
3. We then use the very best tile cleaning machine on the market, the SX12, to blast away the dirt and suck up the mess.
4. We want to leave your home even better than we found it, so we then take care to ensure that the majority of the water is dried up.

The process is both efficient and effective and the results will blow you away. Your grout will be sparkling clean, giving the overall appearance of your tiles an enviable finish.

Our grout cleaning process can be used in any home, no matter how old the grout is, and on top of that, it’s at an affordable price.
